am, saw the nights occupied by thou

Boretti sent out party under Lieut..

the enemy. The latter advanced in
trepidly on all sides to within 800
yards OF the Italian positions. There
was desperate fighting until 3 O'Clock,
when the enemy retreated. Boretti
applied for reiniorcements and sent a
column under Dol. Decristoiorls. The
column was delayed by difficulty in
transportation. Decristoioris asked
for more men and guns. While the

Why AlsAce and Lorraine Prefer

"Why Alsace and Lorraine prefer

They prefer France because they

cause they not only enjoyed the glory
and renown that France attained, both
in war and peace, bat suffered with
her In her trials, difficulties, reigns OF
terror and Watsrloos. France loves
and honors the memories OF her great
statesmen, warriors and scholars, and
30 do the people Of Alsace and Lorraine,
because they furnished their part Of
the same. The French love repub.

The Dominion Elections.

Next Tuesday is election day in the Do.
minion, when members Of Parliament will
be chosen and the fate of the Macdonald
ministry determined. The campaign is
marked with violence that is extraor-
binary even for Dominion politics. The
principal point of attack ON the present gov
eminent is its financial record. 1t is admit
ted that since Sir John assumed control the
debt has increased enormously, and that
Canadian revenues have got into bad way,
but it is contended that this state Of things
has been brought about by building the Ca
madam Pacific and Inter-Colonial railways,
enterprises essential to the development of
the country, and which the whole country
favored, and that therefore the government
should not be held responsible for it. But
the opposition replies that the railways
could have been much more economically
built, and that considerable part of the
burden under which the country is groaning
is not the legitimate result of these enter
prises, but is due to the extravagant and cor
rupt way in which they were carried ON.
Less prominent in the contest is the oues-
ton of free trade and protection. The pres
ent government built up the existing Cana
dian tariff, which appears to have worked
well in upper Canada, where manufactures
are abundant, but less satisfactory in
the maritime provinces. where manufacture
ing is small and the agricultural and fishing
Industries and commerce are the main de-
pendence of the people. The opposition is
accused by the government party Of fayoring
free trade, though the former by no means
admits the justice of this impeachment and
the story published a few days ago by one of
the government organs that American gold
was being contributed to help beat Sir John
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1887-02-19

Macdonald was doubtless intended to give
support to this accusation.
In the maritime provinces, especially in
Nova Scotia, the secession issue is promi-
nent above all others. The people down
there seem to be convinced that they have
been shabbily treated and that their inter
ests have been largely lost sight Of They
claim, and apparently with good reason, that
Upper Canada has got almost the entire ben
eht from the railroads which they have been
taxed to help build. and that they have been
left out in the.cold.
The outcome Of the election would seem to
have been pretty accurately foreshadowed
by the elections for the local legislatures of
the various provinces. for they were fought
substantially ON the same issues that are
prominent in the pending contest In all
those elections but one the Macdonald patty
was beaten. Sir John and his lieutenants
are making very desperate campaign, how
ever, and they are not entirely without hope
of reversing the verdict, which the provinces
have given from time to time within the past
wear.
